Design Loads for Saipan, N. Mariana Islands
- Thread starter Kjogle
- Start date
KJOGLE,
See UBC 1997, Appendix Chapter 16 has seismic data for the Mariana Islands. After the Guam E/Q of August 1993, Guam changed from seismic zone 3 to 4. Saipan (CNMI) may have changed too.
Basic wind is 155 mph - and typhoons are frequent!

I recommend that you get a hold of the MIL-HBK 1002 titled structural loads. It contains many valuable and hard to find data for remote islands where the US has bases. Let me know you e-mail address and I will send you a link to the site.
Good luck
